I have a bent rim and am having a heck of a time finding a good used one. Been to or called a lot of salvage yards all over Ohio that claim they have it but don't, and in some cases their database is incorrect.

The wheel is a 6.5x15x43 steel rim on a car that was a direct import from Sweden ie not bought through a dealer. I'll try to attach a picture of it.

Anyone that has a extra sitting around or knows where one might be and point me in the right direction - your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

 

There are a few of them in the salvage yard here. Not sure how much shipping will be. If you'd like me to get one and ship it to you let me know. You'd do better buying a set of aluminum wheels with good tires on it already. I have seen sets of 4 on CraigsList and places like that for $200.

 

Thanks for the reply rspi.

You are probably right about the aluminum wheels but I don't plan on keeping the car much longer so don't really want to put that much money into it.

So the wheel you have at the salvage yard is the same as the picture I attached? If yes, do you have contact/url info for it and how much for the rim? I guess if it's located in NM then the shipping to OH will be a little high.

Thanks again

 

I broke one of my '98 s70 Volvo alloy rims when I hit a curb. They have them for sale on eBay but I didn't want to pay for shipping so I looked on Craigslist and found a brand-new rim in the box for $80 locally! The person no longer had the car and they had bought the rim for $350 in order to have a full-size spare and never mounted it I got $25 for the broken rim at the recycling center! So what I'm trying to say is try Craigslist!
Good Luck
